Just got caught up on the first ep, cool fights, cool fighters, should be a good season. I hope Joanne and Rose make it through their first matches because that is an awesome potential quarterfinal.

Worth noting as well that the TUF 19 premiere was preceded by a full fight night card, albeit not a terribly interesting one (TUF Canada/Australia finals with Bisping/Kennedy headlining). That probably boosted its ratings a bit. Nonetheless I wonder if this season ends up being TUF's swan song, at least the North American one. Ratings aren't great, they haven't announced another season yet, and I wonder if the concept of the show is a bit past its prime now that they're bringing in so many new fighters anyways these days with all the shows they're running. Also 20 is a nice number to end on

FWIW, Ronda is backing Rose to win it all:quote:"I definitely think it’s Rose Namajunas. I called it from the very beginning. As soon as I saw her, I said this girl is special. I've been following her for two years. I wish her all the best, and I can't wait to see how she does in the season."

double negative posted:I do want to see what Angela Hill has for Esparza. Guessing it will probably look a lot like this unless Hill has a good sprawl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2YjX2QmFIw&t=450s I'm kinda surprised Pettis hasn't tried to get the Esparza match done ASAP since Hill is ostensibly one of the fighters who will benefit most from any extra training time.

Dr. Abysmal posted:The commercial the UFC posted for this episode actually showed Lisa Ellis tapping out. A TWIST Kinda too bad that everyone seems to bagging on Lisa, obviously she didn't look great but I think the whole "quit mentally" thing is being overblown. It just looked to me that she had the same problem she did last time, her positional awareness just isn't very good so she's constantly getting swept and reversed.

Bec Rawlings posted:BUT I have to share with you the best, most vulgar and somewhat disturbing question and answer of the night which literally had us rolling around in tears. The question was, "how many times do you masturbate in a day?" and the winning answer by miss Angela Hill was "until my finger gets wrinkly". Yup she went there, she did it, she crossed that line well and truly. There was no way of topping that answer!

Yeah it had to have been Tecia coming back in, she had the closest loss and obviously was the biggest name to be eliminated at that point as well. Also if she slotted in directly for Kish then she would have fought Bec in the first round for a spot against Carla in the second round, unless they reseeded or something to avoid giving Carla a tough matchup. It would be interesting if the two of them did end up fighting on the show considering the online bickering they were doing a week or two ago.

Charles Gnarwin posted:I just watched a commercial hyping Neil Magnu as a reason to tune in to FS1 on Saturday. UFC 2014, folks. Carla as well, her path to the belt possibly goes Torres-Penne-Calderwood now. Small wonder she wasn't thrilled about it. Also maybe things have changed in the last few years but is Daly really all that good? I remember seeing her get absolutely handled by Lisa Ellis in Bellator a few years ago. Was kind of surprised to see her ranked #5.

lol http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Heather-Clark-Lisa-Ellis-Point-to-Angela-Magana-as-Bullying-Leader-on-TUF-20-76147quote:Both Clark and Ellis believe that The Skrapettes have also gotten to the coaches on Team Melendez, resulting in preferential treatment. But yeah basically it seems like Team Melendez got really cliquey with Magana/Bec/Rose/Hill/Kagan on one side and Clark, Ellis and Torres being left out.

That would be cool but I'm guessing Penne taps her out in the next round. Daly's grappling did not look very good IMO.

Dead Snoopy posted:Do the defeated fighters really continue to live in the fighter house and go to the fights? Wouldn't they be downers to be around? Yeah but then when someone goes down with an injury (e.g. Justine Kish) there's someone around who's still in fight shape who they can put right in. In the earlier seasons people did get kicked out of the house after losing, but I think around Season 3 or so they realized it was useful to have the other fighters around in case of injury.

Dr. Abysmal posted:I would prefer to see Rose win but I am a little interested in what would happen if Team Pettis sweeps the first round. I stopped watching regularly after the Bisping/Mayhem season, has a coach ever not won a single fight before? I don't think so, no. Even Rampage's completely dysfunctional team of garbagemen managed to pick up one first round win on TUF 10 (RIP Big Baby  )

ahaha that was the best possible ending. It took me a sec to even register that Felice was tapping and realize what was going on. I was pretty optimistic going into the fight though given that fairly neutral people like Aisling and Joanne were like "oh yeah, Randa is way better than her" while Carla and Penne were the only ones pumping Felice's tires. It would be kind of cool if Carla and Jessica both lose their quarterfinal matchups too though I dunno if that's likely.

sportsgenius86 posted:I could be remembering this wrong, but wasn't Randa the one who abstained from the vote. So how exactly is she going back on her word. Yeah she basically said that she was happy with how they were training before and didn't think they needed to change anything. But I guess she didn't vote and her side "lost" so she was supposed to sit at home for most of the day instead of training, or something. Also Angela Magana's twitter is a total train wreck, good lord. The last 24 hours is full of stuff about Randa being a psycho, Joanne being fake, talking about how bullying is part of MMA and if you don't like it you should get out, and also a badly photoshopped photo of her beating Aisling by "first round armbar"

Here's one of Seo Hee Ham's recent fights. The fight with Joanne could be fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8tiyOvZZvA&t=60s e: also even though Joanne lost and her grappling looked suspect, I was still impressed with how she adjusted between rounds. She was getting lit up in the first but you could tell that she took Pettis' advice between rounds and started fighting at a better range in the second (though obviously she got tied up eventually). colonel_korn fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Dec 4, 2014 |

This is coming from an interview with Duke Roufus about the recent allegations about his club, so take it with a huge grain of salt, but:quote:He said that the now-departed Namajunas, his most vocal critic in the wake of the Journal-Sentinal story, perpetrated at least one act of violence during a training session that left a teammate injured.

It was kind of funny watching UFC 181 over the weekend and they kept cutting to Carla, Jessica and Rose sitting cageside and all smiles. Randa was apparently sitting somewhere else in the building on her own, I am guessing by choice

CommonShore posted:Watch out for the "Girls Fight Out" article by Taffy Brodesser-Akner. It's a good read, but it has a spoiler for the semifinals. I'm not sure that there are any spoilers there... she mentions Rose winning all of her fights, but I don't think that includes the semifinals since she was interviewing her before that. This was my favourite part: quote:This is not to say the Chumpettes and the Nerds didn’t have a sense of their regard. They did. One night, “Hurricane” Heather Jo Clark had lectured the other women in the house on bullying. “I brought up how I would really like to start an anti-bullying campaign and explained what bullying was. A friend of mine has a 13-year-old daughter that committed suicide… She hung herself and she was just being bullied. That happens every day with kids, with adults in the workplace, and it was going on here this whole time.” They listened to her, and then, minutes later, started making fun of her for making her speech. “So they started bullying me about anti-bullying. How funny is that though, right?” It seems to me that there was a ton of drama that got left on the cutting room floor. Apparently Lisa Ellis and Felice hate each other but I don't remember ever even seeing them interact on the show.
